Hi Thorsten, Thanks for the thoughts.
Clarification: I send my accountability partner a summary of MY committed actions for the day for him to review. We dont' collaborate, and he does not touch or change my tasks. (Although he does send me a list of his own tasks, and how well he did each day.) It's important to send the tasks by e-mail so I know he'll see them right away (and that will keep me accountable). If I send him a link, I know he may or may not view the file if and when he has time. As for using Agenda and hitting > to move a task to the next day, there are two problems with this: 1. this does not change the state of a @didnotdo task to @todo 2. for habits (using the format SCHEDULED: <2012-03-03 Sat +1d>), if I miss a day and then try to mark a habit DONE today, it stamps the habit done for the day I missed, rather than stamping it done today and recording that I did not do it on the day I was supposed to do it.
